Baba Ramdev's fast at the Ramlila ground and the following drama is not yet forgotten. Back to action, the yoga guru has began his 1,00,000 km long yatra from Jhansi to Prayag in Uttar Pradesh. The Swabhimaan' yatra, he hopes, will make people aware of the issues of corruption and black money. He has been fighting tooth and nail against the central government's inability to bring back the black money in the safe havens abroad. He claims that around 4,00,000 crore black money is stashed in the foreign countries and says his fight to bring back the money to India has become a 'religious war' for him. However, the spiritual guru has been under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate for a foreign exchange violation case. His controversial aide Balkrishna, who was booked in a many cases, would accompany Baba though out the march.
